Ukrainian soldiers say Russian forces have overrun two frontline villages in the eastern Donetsk region. The assaults are part of a Kremlin push to overwhelm battlefield defenses.
Russian forces have overrun two front-line villages in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, a Ukrainian army sergeant said Monday, after relentless assaults that are part of a Kremlin summer push to overwhelm battlefield defenses there. Separately, attacks in Russia's Kursk region by the Security Service of Ukraine, also known as the SBU, struck a number of substations causing power outages, according to a statement from the General Staff of Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy late Sunday described the situation in the Donetsk region as 'extremely challenging.' Russia’s strategy of attritional warfare, with powerful glide bombs smashing Ukrainian defenses before infantry move in, has brought incremental gains for the Kremlin as it seeks another big breakthrough. Ukraine is significantly outgunned by Russia’s bigger army on the roughly 600-mile front line.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said the drones were 'intercepted and destroyed' in regions bordering Ukraine as well as in the Leningrad region roughly 430 miles north of the Ukrainian border. A power plant, a bridge and a power line were damaged by drone debris, it said.
